A few people I know use them and they seem to do the job - and last longer than the usual Behringer cr@p.

Replaced by MGP12X,seen (and bought) second hand for 300 notes or less, and might be more useful if it's in budget. Two Yamaha effects (REV & SPX) built in and enough eq... I can only compare it to stuff from 20 years ago, but it doesn't appear to be missing anything fundamental, other than a few dozen channels and more aux busses. Certainly well specified for a mini mixer. |

Just understand
Desk needs Comps, EQ, control. Really why consider junk. Yamaha make decent drums and amazing bass guitars, they have NEVER made a mixing desk worth a wank. The Pmxx00 series were awefull. The digital series just suck. But why spend good money on a crappy fader box when you can get a decent mixer for the same money.

Hi all
I was also looking at the XR12 lately. My biggest issue is latency if there is any. Maby getting a 5 Ghz router will improve things a lot. Rish

I thought the Allen Heath zed 10 fx was a brilliant mixer for the price, really well made and the USB in was great because you could link it to a channel with tone controls.
I feel the fx where unusable and I sold mine almost instantly when the x air 12 was released, Personally I have had a lot of budget mixers, for the money, the x air 12 has to be the way forward. Kev |

Hi Kev
How does the X12 perform. is it user friendly, as asked above do you notice any latency? Mike

I haven't used the internal wifi as we had more than just the berry on the show network, a cheap linksys 5Ghz router with an iPad air was fine.

Sorry guys
I didn't understand what you meant at first. I think this is an incredible product for the money. It's very reliable and when you use a decent external router on 5 gig or otherwise the unit is solid. I use a single pad for playback of tracks and control of the desk, so every few minutes I jump between the playback and the mixer app, the app connects in a fraction of a second to the router, the only issue I have ever had with this desk was at a huge outdoor gig, I walked to the very back of the audience a long way away from the router, not a great one for the environment which was surrounded by loads of tv re broadcast antenna and wi fi antennas, I pushed the faders and they didn't move and then when I came back in range there was a huge jump in volume, this was my fault, notbthebdesks. In normal circumstances when you have a pad tied to this desk doing nothing but control, it's a doddle to use and there is no delay (if that's what you mean when you say latency) at all I was so happy with mine I bought another, there is no going back to a basic 12 ch desk for me, having all them extra routing options and tone options and fx etc absolutely game changing, Cheers Kev |

I agree with Kevin and Shaggers.
Analogue is just so limiting! Once you have gate/comp/4 band Para EQ/kitchen sink on every input and output, you wonder how you did it on a boring analogue with just a swept mid! With digital, you have so much, in so little a space. Not so bothered by iPad apps, but can see the appeal of mixing whilst sat at the bar! I am not a berry hater, amazing for money, but, mewh. Qu by A&H (Qu-SB is equivalent to X12, just more, and 4 times the price!!) is lovely. Just got myself a Qu-16 for hire, so shares my stage boxes from my GLD. Perfect little conference mixer (and cheaper than a Shure Intellimix SCM820!).
